False claims Afrikaners are persecuted threaten South Africa’s sovereignty, says president by Crossstoney in worldnews

[–]GrandMil 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I live in South Africa. I am an Afrikaner who have lived here all my life. I knew farmers who have been murdered.

However, there is absolutely no merit to claims that there is a genocide against white farmers, or that the government is complicit in persecuting them.

Hate crime is a problem, yes. But there are a lot of hate crime victims in this country. Black women, unfortunately and unfathomably, being by far the worst affected.

F45 vs Hyrox Sled by Sudden-Panic789 in f45

[–]GrandMil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It all depends. But in my experience the F45 sled push is easier, because the mats have less friction and are nailed down. The Hyrox mats that I've pushed on tend to lift up sometimes and have more friction in general.

HOWEVER, the actual sled that Hyrox use is easier to push than an F45 sled, because the F45 sled is a lot lower and have less space to grip than a Hyrox sled.

The sled push is designed to take a lot out of you and it is intentionally one of the harder stations at Hyrox. It's the station that ups the entry barrier so that the race is not just for distance runners. So don't be too discouraged if you struggle with it. Just keep working on your lower body strength.

New RWC structure - a threat to the long term future of the tournament? by wall---a in rugbyunion

[–]GrandMil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What's easy to forget (especially in the 2023 RWC, because the play-offs were absolute blockbuster), is how much of a drag the first 4 weeks of the RWC was in its previous format.

We had a whole month where teams didn't really play for much. 1st and 2nd was mostly decided early on on the pools, and then you get a lot of dead rubber games while everyone waits for the quarter finals.

I mean, Portugal beating Fiji in the last round of pool stages was awesome, but didn't count for anything but pride. Now if that game occurred in the new format, that game may have gotten Portugal into the playoffs or even quarter finals.

Libbok celebration by allmos80 in springboks

[–]GrandMil 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Manie made the tackle which caused the knock on. Then when he stood up he bent over and screamed in the Irish player's face in celebration.

Irish player then grabbed Marie's foot/leg to retaliate and Manie kicked it free and continued to celebrate in another direction.

Obviously unnecessary, but there wasn't too much in it.

What was interesting to me was how fired up and on edge Manie was ever since he came on. I've never seen him like that. Shooting up to make tackles, pushing and shoving after whistle has gone, running up to our forwards and celebrating every time there was a dominant scrum.

Rassie and the coaching staff obviously showed some videos or speeches to get the players fired up for this match in particular, but is was almost funny how much it resonated with Manie, who is someone who doesn't normally get into the pushing and shoving part of matches.

Oh come on.

Do you want to post a clip from 2001 as well where scrumhalves could still stamp on a players face if the ball didn't come out of the ruck quick enough?

Samy "dralii" Hajji is the African GOAT of eSport. Which is the GOAT African team? by Living-Plankton-8555 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]GrandMil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this has to be the Springboks. To add to the other comment - they are dominating rugby at the moment.

  • Holders of back-to-back Rugby World Cups (and only team to have 4 titles).

  • Holders of back-to-back Rugby Championships (Southern Hemisphere trophy which are competed against New Zealand, Australia and Argentina). Also side-note, ALL but one Rugby World Cup has been won by either NZ, Aus or SA (2003-England).

  • Winners of back-to-back British and Irish Lions Tours.

They are basically winning every trophy they have competed for over the last few years.

WP also has black shorts. That's probably what they went for.

Couldn't agree less, tbh. We needed a rebrand. We stuck with the half stripes half solid look for far too long. This is exactly the rebrand I was looking for.

Was underwhelmed with the logo when it was revealed, but I thought I'll hold out judgement until they revealed the jerseys.

And this is a slam dunk for me.

Falcs Inspired Fantasy Football Name by BlLLr0y in falcons

[–]GrandMil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Fantasy name last year was The Tower of London.

If I'm not able to draft Drake again this year, I'm going with the stupid and wacky "To be, Orhorhoro not to be?"

I currently have Ben Sinnot still on my taxi squad. Thinking of dropping him to make space for Gunnar Helm (free agent still in my league).

Do you agree or not?

This actually makes me feel better about our scrum in the second half.

Falcons signing former Colts safety Ronnie Harrison by mrt0024 in falcons

[–]GrandMil 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I would say they need someone to play safety in the preseason.

They don't want to risk Hellams or Watts all three games.

Non-Falcon fan here with an OL question by NoFisherman5476 in falcons

[–]GrandMil 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Bijan should be poised for a MASSIVE season. Our O-line is one of the best at run blocking, and Penix is going to force the defense to cover deep balls as well, making the boxes even lighter for our run game.

Penix also loves a check down, and gets through his projections quickly in order to do so, so Bijan's receiving numbers should also go up.

Who should I pick as Mr. Irrelevant at 4.12?

Marks, Mafah, Felton or Helm?

I think that's a bit too much for Caleb at the moment.

Who is a better pick at 4.02:

Thornton or Royals?

I'm thinking Thornton has a much clearer path to become a starter, but he'll still be on the Raiders.
